The more they make the more it hurts the brand. It should be like Dragon Quest, a new game is made every couple years, not every year.

Shinji Hashimoto: ‘2018 will be a big year for Final Fantasy’

Several new titles in development.

2018 will be a big year for Final Fantasy that sees the release of multiple new titles, according to Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto.

“Next year will be the 31st year, and our teams are busy working on new titles,” Hashimoto told Edamame Arcade Channel in a new video interview. “They are all gearing up for a big year next year. Next year is going to be a big year.”

Hashimoto added, “Next year will be a big one, and we will bring exciting, new Final Fantasy titles to the world.”

How long did they took them to release each sequel of Final Fantasy XIII? S-E persistence on this one just kept delaying XV development and surely they want to exploit this one the same way and we know that the ride with XIII wasn't a pleasent one.

Never played the FF12 sequel it's in my gigantic backlog of DS games that is in triple figures.

All the mana spin-offs are pretty bad (Children, Sword, Heroes, Legend). Can't even think of the last decent mana game I've played might even be SD3 about 15 years ago when I played it for the first time.

From that bunch Legend of Mana is the one that stands out and it's tragic how it accomplishes so much with the story, characters that you can't help but to feel pity or symphaty, stunning 2d visuals and one of the most beautiful soundtracks on the 32/64 bits era and it gets dragged down by a very slow paced beat 'em up gameplay.
